Subject: Has the church replaced Israel? |
Bible Note: Actually no Israel (Judea) was never scattered before Christ. The prophecy in Genesis 49:10 (NKJV) 10 The scepter shall not depart from Judah, Nor a lawgiver from between his feet, Until Shiloh comes; And to Him shall be the obedience of the people. Did not occur until 4 AD when Rome took authority from the Jews to pronounce the death sentence. However when Shiloh (the rest giver) which was Jesus came the scepter was taken from Judah. Then in around 70AD the Jews were dispersed throughout the Roman Empire as retaliation for their rebellion. It wasn’t until early 1900’s when we begin to see the Jews return to the Promised Land that this prophecy began to be fulfilled. Then in 1948 Israel was officially recognized as a nation and regathering moved into full swing. EdB |
